“We demand a CBI inquiry into alleged police action against women villagers during and after the farmers-police clashes,” NCW Acting Chairperson Yasmeen Abarar said.
Four persons, including two policemen, were killed in the clashes and firing in Bhatta-Parsaul villages in Greater Noida on Saturday last.
Villagers have also alleged that some police personnel trespassed into their houses and outraged dignity of women.
Yasmeen Abrar on Saturday alleged that crime against woman in Uttar Pradesh is very high and that atrocities were committed by the state government in the twin villages, just a day after a NCW report claimed that many women in the two villages were stripped naked and molested by policemen following the violent agitation by farmers on May 7.
Backing Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi’s claims of many people being killed and their bodies burnt in Bhatta and Parsaul, Yasmeen said, “NCW is worried that the crime against women in highest in Uttar Pradesh. There has been a case in Farrukhabad of rape and murder. We request a CBI enquiry into Bhatta-Parsaul so that evidence is not destroyed and to bring out the truth. We request for security and food to women of the villages. Women police personnel should be there to look after the women.”
However, the Mayawati government hit out at Rahul, claiming that all allegations levelled by him were false. The Uttar Pradesh government released a forensic report which stated that there were no human remains in the ashes found in the twin villages.
